It is in such a tense world that Malaysia is set to determine her destiny and her place in a rapidly changing world. In such a moment it is imperative that the implications of global, economic and political processes for South-East Asia in general and Malaysia in particular are examined, assessed and responded to.

In 2004, 4.2% of world electronics exports originated from Malaysia, but following a dip thereafter, Malaysia once again accounts for more than 4% of the world’s electronics exports.
